Veggie Tales Quilt By Eileen Hoheisel

I had made a quilt for someone else using the VeggieTale fabric, and purchased the leftovers. My daughter has been a VT fan forever, and I

planned to use it for her someday. The block fabric including the blue was
a border print. The multi-colored strips at the top and bottom of each block were part of the sashing on the original quilt. I used black for sashing to separate the blocks. The outer border is phrases from VT. I had strips of that which allowed me to have all four borders with the words right-side-up. For the quilting I just stitched in the ditch.

It was a fun quilt to work on, and both mom and baby liked it. I had enough fabric to make a diaper bag also, and still have scraps left to use in a graduation quilt for Elizabeth when the time comes. I’m keeping some of every fabric I use to make something for her–something it never occurred to me to do when Cari was little and I sewed all her clothes. I always loved to look at the quilts my mom made and identify whose clothes the fabric came from!

How to export an image of your virtual quilt from EQ

With your quilt displayed on the Quilt Worktable:

Click FILE > Export Image. The Export Image dialog displays.

In this dialog you’ll select the folder location for saving the file, give the file a name. You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, EQQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_EQQuilt”.

Click the down-pointing arrow for file type selections. Files can be saved jpeg.

The next dialog lets you specify the size of the image and other options depending on the file type that has been selected. You should choose 150 dpi and a width of 8”.

When taking a photo of your finished quilt, you should follow these guidelines or we may not be able to display your quilt in the gallery.

The quilt must be hanging vertically straight.

Take the photo straight on (the quilt should not be on an angle).

The image file should be larger than 600 pixels. If you send us the original photo without any editing, that file should suffice.

Do not crop out the background.

Do not cut off the borders or binding in the picture.

You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, FinishedQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_FinishedQuilt”.
